Correct.The only time you'll really cough is if you might be smoking a particularly strong tobacco that you might not be used to but it's not lung coming up. And with pipe smoking...You smoke when you want to, not when the tobacco want's you to.

If you are just starting out, Cobs are good pipes.Easy to break in and always a smooth smoke. Several of us seasoned puffers are Cob smokers. I have four myself and enjoy them every bit as much as my Briars.

I will take a look at the Cobs I also like the look of the Pokers that sit. Does a longer stem pipe smoke cooler that a Poker? or is more to do with pace. Sorry to ask so many questions.

Longer the stem, the cooler the smoke.A poker is the shape of the bowl generally and most are medium to short stemmed. No problem with the questions,That's why we are all here,to share knowledge and camraderie .

As far as burn,you can get tongue burn on most any pipe if you're a "Mad Puffer" . Nice n relaxed is what yer going for. Nice relaxed sips is the best way I can describe it to you.

I should also point out though that different tobacco blends can be smoother than others also and just in case you were wondering...Strong potent smelling tobacco does not always equate to burn either. As a general the more aromatic types of tobacco can be "burnier" as they have more sugars but again experiment.Go forth and taste the bounty young Hobbit and the bounty shall be yours !........ummm yeah.

Thanks for all your help, need to get off to work catch you later.

If you are an ex cigarette smoker, my advice to you is to get pipe tobacco with at least medium strenght if not even more.
Most aromatic tobaccos seem to have a total lack of nicotine. Nice overwhelming candy aroma doesn't always equal nice taste either. Possible sign of a tongue burner.
Also no need to inhale, imho.

Winters comin "T" ......... I'm gettin all woodesy and tingly for the cold weather heh heh. I might have to get something nice to drink tonight to go along with my pipe and celebrate it.

Currently the snow line runs only about 30 km from my home city so i guess we get the world white within few days also. Been waiting for it.

We've had hell of a rainstorm going on for over a week. Nice weather to smoke a pipe (or do anything outdoors, actually).

And now the main road from my home to bridge and mainland is cut by the flood. There's only one another road still open from here, giving us some 18 km more, but do not know for how long it will stay open.
